BEDEVILED

 

my thoughts are on a spiral turn

I am on an ungirded loin 

I have pushed myself in too deep 

too much trembling on my lip 

weighty lessons I have learned 

both from the living and the dead 

my cape no longer flaps 

you can’t pin me on a map 

an overhauled burden on my soul 

now I’m speechless, I cannot growl 

my world is like a sudoku and puzzle 

someone hit me back to life with the tip of a nozzle

bedeviled by my own psyche 

an insane world, just too tacky 

I was like a flower waiting to bloom 

now, my life is shitty and doomed 

I’m going offline mysteriously 

pride in my bone momentarily 

I have been long gone even before now 

to death, I choose to bow
